This was a great explanatory post, that distilled a lot of complex ideas into something short and accessible. I’ve curated it.
A minor thing that would have improved it is, for the various types of curves (especially ones named after people), it might have been nice to link to an existing canonical reference for that idea, that covers it in more depth or at least gives a sense of how other people have thought about it.
Scalable systems all turn out to have these S-curve dynamics. It’s roughly based on how networks operate, and other people have expounded upon this extensively – e.g. Geoffrey West, etc. Networks have certain identifiable elements, which can be projected onto specific situations for a deeper analysis.
